what does a brake bleed do on a mechanical system? i totally get it on a hydro system (i used to do same on my moto years ago), but don't understand how that works on a hybrid system with cable actuation.

i'll look into this as well as replace pads. i looked at a trp video and they show how to do all of that.

eventually i prefer to keep things simple and will replace with mechanical discs.

thanks for all the suggestions/info.

The barrel adjuster should only be used for picking up slack in the cable and nothing else. Adding tension to the cable otherwise is depressing the plunger further into the master cylinder of the caliper, preventing the pads from advancing as they wear.
